Decking built properly, from the frame up

GardenWow is a local decking company based in South Woodford. Our deck builders and decking fitters handle composite decking installation, timber decks, raised decks and steps across East London and west Essex.

A deck is only as good as the frame under it. Ours are set out level, built on proper supports and fixed to last, so the boards stay flat and the deck stays solid for years.

Composite decking

Best for a deck you want to forget about

Supplied and installed by us. No rot, no splinters, no staining, and the colour holds.

  • Low maintenance, just a wash down
  • Grooved boards for grip
  • Wide range of colours and finishes

Timber decking

Best for a natural look and a lower price

Pressure-treated softwood boards on a strength-graded timber frame.

  • Natural wood look and feel
  • Lower cost up front
  • Can be re-stained to refresh it

Included in every decking job

One quoted price covering the frame, boards, fixings, labour and waste.

  • Old deck or surface removed — boards, frame and posts taken up and taken away.
  • Ground prepared — cleared, levelled and covered with weed membrane.
  • Frame built level — on proper supports, so the deck stays flat and solid.
  • Boards fixed and finished — fixings to suit the board, edges and fascia neatly finished.
  • Steps and handrails — built to match where the deck needs them.
  • Site cleared — offcuts and waste taken away under our waste carrier registration.

A few photos and rough measurements on WhatsApp.

Design and price

A fixed price in writing, and a design if you want one.

We build it

Old deck out, frame built level, boards fixed and finished.

We clear up

Offcuts and waste gone, deck swept and ready to use.

What will your deck cost?

A few questions on the deck, the ground and the size. The price shows on screen and no contact details are needed first.

Step

Composite or timber?

Not sure? Composite costs more up front but needs almost no upkeep. Timber is cheaper and looks natural.

Step

What goes underneath?

The frame under composite boards makes the biggest difference to the price. A timber frame is the most common and the most affordable.

Step

How high will the deck sit?

The higher the deck, the more frame, posts and bracing it needs underneath.

Step

What is there now?

Taking up an old deck is the biggest variable before the build starts.

Step

How do we get to the garden?

Every board, joist and offcut is carried in and out, so access changes the labour.

Step

Anything else?

Tick anything that applies, or leave them all unticked for a plain deck.

Step

How big is the deck?

Enter the area in square metres, or use length times width below.

square metres

Not sure of the size?

Measure the length and width of the area in metres. Rough is fine, we confirm before ordering anything.

We recently had a new fence and decking installed by GardenWow and are really pleased with the result. The team did a great job, especially considering they were working in some very hot weather. They were responsive throughout, easy to deal with, and offered good pricing. We'd happily recommend them!

We recently had our outdoor space completely transformed by Arlind and his team, new decking built and fresh grass laid, and we couldn't be happier with the result. The space has gone from unusable to genuinely livable, and the quality of the work speaks for itself.

I was very specific about the materials and finish I wanted and they completed the work to absolute perfection at a great price. Once the layout started to take shape, I realised the design needed adjusting and they took this in their stride with no complaint about the change of plan.

Decking questions

How much does decking installation cost?

It depends on the size of the deck, composite or timber, how high it sits and what has to come out first. Removing the old deck, the frame, boards, fixings and waste removal are all included. Use the instant quote on this page for a price in about a minute, or send photos on WhatsApp for a fixed price in writing, usually the same day.

Can I buy the materials myself?

Yes. On bigger decks we can send you the full materials list to order direct from the supplier, so the cost is transparent and the manufacturer's warranty is in your name. Our price then covers labour and waste removal.

Composite or timber decking?

Composite costs more up front but does not rot, splinter or need staining, and it keeps its colour. Timber costs less, looks natural and can be re-stained, but needs looking after every year or two. For a deck you want to forget about, composite is the better spend.

Do you supply and install composite decking?

Yes. We supply the boards, build the frame and fit everything, so there is one price and one team responsible for the whole deck.

How long does it take to build a deck?

Most garden decks take a few days, depending on size, height and access. Raised decks, steps and handrails add time, and we tell you how long with the quote.

Do you take the old deck away?

Yes. Taking up an old deck, frame and posts is part of the quote, and it all leaves under our waste carrier registration.

What goes under the deck?

The ground is cleared and levelled, a weed membrane goes down, and the frame sits on proper supports so it stays level. That is the part you never see, and the part that decides how long the deck lasts.

Is composite decking slippery?

Good quality composite boards have a textured, grooved surface for grip. Any deck can get slippery with algae in shade, and composite is far easier to keep clean than timber.

Do I need planning permission for a deck?

A ground-level deck in a rear garden usually does not. A deck raised well off the ground, or one close to a boundary, can need permission, so if yours will be raised we will tell you before you commit.

Can you build raised decking and steps?

Yes. Raised decks, steps down to the lawn, handrails and fascia boards are all built to match, and priced in the quote.

Are you local decking fitters?

Yes. GardenWow is a local decking company based in South Woodford. Our deck builders work across South Woodford, Woodford Green, Wanstead, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Chingford, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Chigwell, Ilford and Romford.

Can you do the deck and the lawn together?

Yes, and it is usually cheaper in one visit than as separate jobs. Turfing, fencing and patios can all be quoted alongside the decking.

Do you guarantee the work?

Yes. We back our own workmanship for ten years, and we are fully insured. If the frame, the fixings or the structure fail because of the way we built it, we come back and put it right at no cost. Composite boards also carry the manufacturer's own warranty.
